    My Klax isn't loading on the 2600+. Works fine on my 7800. Just cleaned.

    I had the same note above regarding "Evercade."
  3. SabertoothRetro
    Sirius and Plutos work with the update.

    Ok, my computer showed the device as an Evercade Handheld. I'm assuming this is because they use the same chipset. Once I figured that out, the update process went smoothly. It's cool to see Circus Convoy working. Neither Rampage (7800) or Double Dragon (7800) work. For Rampage, I get audio and a scrambled screen. For DD, nothing (black screen). They both have been repeatedly cleaned and work on my 7800.

    The 2600+ Casual Play series returns to Saturday morning with another 7800 game: Mario Bros.

    I picked up all three this morning. Here's a gameplay only look at Dragon's Cache. I love seeing more great homebrew find digital release on the VCS!

    In addition to both the LE & SE versions of Yar’s Return not working properly, the XP edition of Crystal Castles also does not work on a 2600+. It displays horizontal lines, automatically increases the score and auto skips levels. The original retail cart is fine. 20231214_161854.mp4

    I would love to help out. I have a Windows laptop, Circus Convoy, a near complete NTSC 7800 collection and several homebrews, including with Pokey sound.

    I've had issues with certain games crashing on stock hardware. On my upgraded VCS, no issues at all - although some newer games only run well with minimum graphics settings.

    I had this same behavior with Yars' Return. The first levels was a semi-circle. I also had issues with the XP edition of Crystal Castles.

    I can confirm that this resolves the flashing issue. I had a new in box Onyx from Gamestop ($99 special) that's been in my closet for a year. I was able to fully update it from stock automatically in 26 minutes. This is great news for the new user experience!

    Official releases of Klax, Plutos, Sirius and Toki for the 7800. Re-releases of Planet Smashers, Alien Brigade, Ninja Golf and Mean 18 for the 7800. A dip switch dual cart with both the retail version and unreleased GCC version of Millipede. (2600)

    The 2600+ does not appear to work with the Coleco Gemini Dual Command. I had a Gemini as a kid, so this is a bummer. It works fine on original hardware and the Retron77. So much for working with original peripherals.

    Has anyone noticed/reported intro sounds being cutoff? Like the little diddy at the beginning of Q*bert for example? 20231202_062453.mp4

    I received my 2600+ over the weekend and ran through all of my retail 7800 games. Of 52 NTSC games tested, only 2 would not load: Rampage and Double Dragon. They were thoroughly cleaned and both work fine on a real 7800. All other carts loaded on the first try. I know that Rampage had been reported, but didn't see Double Dragon mentioned here.

    I ordered within the first hour or so. Mine has been stuck in Azusa with the shipping label printed since Friday. The rub is that's 40 miles from me. I would literally drive there and get the damned thing if that were an option. Interestingly, I received my copy of Mr. Run & Jump on Saturday. That order was placed separately as I had already ordered the XP cart and wasn't sure I needed the Plaion-produced standard edition. About 400 orders separated the two.

    The special packaging looks really neat, however I think that a product is better served when the retail package is featured in "unboxing" videos and press reviews. It's what the rest of us will be getting, after all.
  18. SabertoothRetro
    I did a "test print" to see what might need to be changed for a printed version. There are definitely corrections and revisions that would need to be made, but it doesn't look bad!
  19. SabertoothRetro
    Thanks for checking it out! I'm ashamed to say that I did this on my Razer laptop. The next issue will be done on the VCS, guaranteed! 🙃
  20. SabertoothRetro
    Thanks to everyone who has checked out Issue 01 of our totally unofficial, 100 % fanmade fanzine! We appreciate the kind words and positive feedback! A few folks have reached out about a PDF version. The PDF is available for free via the Club VCS subforum. There have also been inquiries about printed copies. As of this time, there are no plans for a printed version. Never say never, though!

    #44,279 - Planetary Defense Force
  23. SabertoothRetro
    Here's a gameplay only first look of Planetary Defense Force, released today (9/29) on the VCS from Blue Sunset Games. $5.99 USD It's an interesting approach to a tower defense game from the folks behind Skinny & Franko and Ultimate Ski Jumping.

    #43731 Cymatically Muffed I imagine that these numbers would be higher over the last few weeks were it not for the zip code issue impacting some users.
  25. SabertoothRetro
    Here's a look at Cymatically Muffed playing on the VCS in single-player Campaign and Survival Modes. The single-player experience is fun but my guess is that this game really opens up in multiplayer with both co-op and battle mode. I would love to see a 16-player game going!
